Beauty in Strength

CrossFit can change how a woman both specifies appeal and feels about her body, as Rita Benavidez, Jackie Perez, Erin Cianciolo and Andrea Ager go over in this video.
When thinking appeal was a photo of a waify female on a publication, Benavidez feels differently now. "My understanding of beauty has altered over the past few years," Benavidez states. "Real charm … is strength and fitness, and confidence in yourself."
Perez was originally encouraged by trying to be skinny. "That wasn't getting me anywhere," she says. "With CrossFit, I set goals. I wish to deadlift 225, I'm going to hit that faster than I'm going to search in the mirror and like exactly what I see."
Ager states putting in the work is essential to getting what you desire. "I think that hard work and the manner in which your body looks go so hand-in-hand," she says. "When you do get a body that you want, you're extremely proud of it … you take pride in exactly what your body can do."
Through CrossFit, these females are confident, stronger and fitter. They are moms, tomboys, coaches. They are CrossFit athletes.
Why is this only about how your significant other perceived you and whether
girls will still look “pretty” after joining crossfit?
because it is marketed towards women who value those things in themselves
and are scared of losing them if they start having this exercise
+Katherine Brown Because sometimes women like feeling beautiful and
attractive, whatever the words may mean.
+Katherine Brown There are many women that have had or still have a very
low opinion of themselves. Lots to do with marketing in magazines. Lots to
do with imagery on TV. Lots to do with peer pressure (I’d hate to be a
teenage man now). Many still struggle with this but this video brings these
issues to the fore and says “to hell with what people think, I just want to
look good for me and to be in the best shape I can be, giving 100% to my
fitness and lifestyle goals”. I applaud this video, there should be more of
these. Insecurities can stem from many things and from people who are
so-called “friends”. But once confidence takes over, it really manifests
itself and these women are proof of that. One is a Mum and she looks great
for 36. Good for them, whatever the age. Just my view…
